Well aren’t I a genius. 
Sheesh. Thank you all. 
I found another way: selecting the “rall.” object and adding a negative value in “Start offset”, Y axis value at the Properties panel.
Add me to the pro-choice list (and out from the “shady ‘university’ music lobby” one).
Could I please revive this thread with a feature request, namely adding above/below buttons to the properties panel for these rit./rall. markings please?
I find it just a tad cumbersome to adjust these in Engrave…
Thx, all the best to the team,
Benji

Not to muddy the waters, but there’s certainly a case for rit/rall markings to be on every staff in choral scores, as Dennis is not going to keep an eye on the Soprano line just in case.
These would be above the stave, of course. 
We can add Staff Text on each staff, matching the Relative Tempo style, but …

Yeah, but… sometimes playback is fun… 
Yes, I agree, would also like to “vote” for the option to add tempo markings like rit./rall. below. Thanks.
Has this been added to 5.1? If so, I can’t find it.
Select a marking and press F. Does that work? (It might not).
I tried that already after searching through some posts, and sadly it doesn’t.
No, there’s been no change in Dorico 5.1 with regard to this convention for tempo.
